George Takei's Allegiance Comes to a Theatre Near You on February 19Share your social media pictures and posts with us.

"At a time when echoes of the internment ring once again far too loud in our political discourse, there's never been a better moment for the story of Allegiance to find new audiences. It is a true testament to the power and the relevance of this story that so many people attended its premiere in December, and it is only appropriate that even more people will be able to witness it on such an important day as February 19, 2017. The Day of Remembrance is a day of commemoration, of reflection, and of learning, and I hope Allegiance can play an important role in its celebration, this year, and for many years to come."

--George Takei
